AROUND the Family

St. Mary

St. Vincent de Paul

Conference Wants You!

Are you interested in growing spiritually while meeting new people and serving others? Then join us in St. Mary's St. Vincent de Paul group. 

• St. Mary is one of about 50 SVDP conferences in the archdiocese. 
• The organization is focused equally on three areas: spiritual, fellowship, and service. 
• We meet on the 2nd Thursday of every month at 7:30 PM in the Seton Center on the St. Mary campus. 
• Our group has about 12 active members, and another ten or so that are semi-active. Active members typically attend the monthly meetings and help with home visits/calls with our neighbors in need. Typical needs are utility and rent support, clothing, furniture, and food. For more information, please send us an email at st.mary.svdp@gmail.com

The SVDP food drive is THIS WEEKEND, September 16 & 17.

We are collecting non-perishable foods and baby items for our neighbors in need. Please bring items to the vestibule. Thank you!  

40 Days for Life

Christians throughout Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, and surrounding areas are invited to participate in the international 40 Days for Life effort from September 27- November 5, 2023. In addition to 40 days of prayer and fasting for an end to abortion in America, please consider volunteering to pray outside of the Planned Parenthood abortion facility on Auburn Avenue in Cincinnati for one or more hours during the 40 days and spread the word to others about this important life-saving effort.
